Redshed Reserve Shiraz 2023

Accolades

Ray Jordan – 95 Points
Super impressive shiraz from this mature Margaret River vineyard. The nose displays some rather beautiful black cherry and spicy plummy notes with a trace of cracked black pepper. Darker fruit characters merge into the palate. It’s medium to full-bodied and so beautifully balanced and poised. Varietal notes of pepper and licorice with a little cedary oak add a subtle touch to the primary fruits of the palate. Dig deeper and notes of dark chocolate and lightly roasted coffee grinds reveal. A classy wine.

Tasting Notes

Appearance
Deep red with a vivid purple hue – youthful and vibrant.

Aroma
Lifted aromas of blackberry, black cherry, and plum compote with notes of dried fig. Subtle undertones of black pepper, cedarwood, and a trace of vanilla provide complexity and elegance.

Palate
Medium to full-bodied with concentrated dark fruit flavours. Black cherry and plum give way to nuances of cracked black pepper, licorice, and toasty oak. Hints of dark chocolate and roasted coffee grinds emerge with time in the glass. Silky tannins and a savoury finish round out a beautifully composed wine.

Finish
Long, elegant, and savoury – with spice, fruit, and oak in perfect harmony.

 FAQ Wine Terms

🔹 What makes this a “Reserve” Shiraz?
“Reserve” wines are crafted from only the finest parcels – in this case, the standout Shiraz fruit from the 2023 vintage. The result is greater concentration, structure, and ageability.

🔹 How will this wine age?
With proper cellaring, this Shiraz will evolve beautifully over 8–10 years, gaining even more depth, softness, and complexity.

🔹 What’s unique about Margaret River Shiraz?
Margaret River Shiraz tends to be more elegant than its Barossa counterpart – offering spice, vibrant fruit, and finer tannins. It’s a style that balances richness with finesse.

I have been buying my wines from Kirk for about two years now and I have never had a bad experience or wine. I love the fact that the wines are all West Australian, so supporting local and lower carbon footprint. He delivers when it’s convenient for me and brings the wine to my door.  Wines are all good quality and well priced, especially the cleanskins. Highly recommended

I've been ordering from Partners in Wine for three years now - from the UK for my sister living in Perth. Each time they've been bang on with my order including  on time delivery. Kirk has also helped me select my wines from an extensive list.  A very pleasant and friendly company to deal with. I would highly recommend them.
